While the E36 Coupe and the E36 Sedan share many similar styling elements, there are certain parts that are slightly altered and will not be cross compatible. One such element is the 90-98 BMW E36 Sedan Tail lights, which are stretched vertically to create a slightly larger housing that matches the slightly larger body of the 4-door sedan. Aftermarket tail lights maintain this OEM styling with simple clean designs, but also add new lighting features that can aid in improving lighting quality and aesthetics. LED lighting options are a common addition to aftermarket designs along with a variety of housing color options, including red clear, red, black, and chrome.
